Goal!, released in Japan as Super Cup Soccer and Europe as Super Goal!, is a 1992 association football video game developed by Tose and published by Jaleco for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Goal! Two is Tose's first sequel to 1988's Goal! (released in Japan as Moero !! Pro Soccer). It was later ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System as Goal!!, with the game being titled Goal! Two in North America and Goal! 2 in Europe.

For the French release of the NES version, Jaleco secured an endorsement from French international footballer Eric Cantona, who had just transferred to Manchester United F.C. The French packaging bears the name and likeness of Cantona, with the prefixed title Eric Cantona Football Challenge: Goal! 2. It is otherwise unrelated to Eric Cantona Football Challenge, which is a port of Striker from Rage Software in 1992.

Jaleco followed Goal! with Super Goal! 2 (1994). An additional Super Famicom installment, Takeda Nobuhiro no Super League Soccer (1994) was released only in Japan.
